What will you do if you do not have a job?

Lets travel to a world where there are no jobs.

Everything else is the same expect for the fact that there are no jobs and you have to make money?

What will you do???

Think. .. ... .... ..... ...... ....... ........ .............. .........................

Would you chose any other skill of yours other than your current job?

If yes, Then it is clear that you are more passionate about doing that than your current job.

If no, then you are one of the kind who has learnt the art of converting your job into an skill of yours and you are one of a kind who believes that you are getting paid for the skill you have developed. In other words, Great going!!!

Well just a random thought.

Slavery today

No... I am not going to talk about slavery in sudan; niger; ghana or about child labour; or child sex etc., in what is called as 3rd world countries.

But this post is going to be a question. A question which I ask myself and now which I am going to open up for everybody.

"Are we in some sort of corporate; family; societal slavery?"

Again, by this I do not mean cuffed hands; minimal wages; domestic labour; domestic violance etc., These are things which are talked about everywhere.

What I am talking about is mental slavery. Where we do something not because we want to do but because we are asked to do. Simple example, "Do this, Do that". I believe most of us today are in this sort of a slavery.

Is this true? If yes, I think we should break those shackles. What say?

Why Socrates is the wisest?

Socrates, having always felt that he held no wisdom or what so ever and unable to believe that he was wiser than anybody else thought of proving it to his friends who felt that he was the wisest around.

So he went on to post riddles to those whom were considered the wise men of athens like statesmen; poet; artists etc., At the end he found that though everybody "THOUGHT" that they were wiser and knew everything but in reality none of them never really knew a great deal of what they thought they did.

This made Socrates realize that the so-called wise men of athens were incorrect in claiming that they knew everything, while paradoxically albeit he did not know everything and infact he himself knew that he was not wise et all, made him the wiser one than others.

So it doesn matter that if you do not know something but it is very important to understand that do not know it :)

Love Thyself

"Love yourself till you die" - Kumarraj

Do you stand in front of mirror for hours?
Do you like the way you do things?

If not then you are the biggest fun of life. It is to love yourself. Only when you love yourself you can keep yourself away from all the negatives that is present in the world. Self-love improves self-esteem; self-confidence; and makes you immune from others who think they are good than you and try to impose it in you too.

“You must love yourself before you love another. By accepting yourself and fully being what you are, your simple presence can make others happy.” - June Roberts

Dreamers vs. Thinkers

Who is the best?

Dreamer or Thinker. A dreamer is somebody who dreams on the result and does not care much about the process. On the other hand a thinker is somebody who cares about the process; positives and negatives of it more than the sheer result.

At times a thinker is termed as smart and a dreamer might be called a fool for going behind some stupid dream and not analysing the +ves and -ves of it.

Having said that, it is the dreamers who have run the world till day. It is the visioneries and their dream which has showed the way till now in world. A dreamer would never feel the pain in the process of doing things to get to his/her dream while a thinker might be afraid to behind what he/she wants due to the -ves in it.

Dream helps in realising the passion towards doing something you want and gives you the guts to go ahead and get it.

Remember

"it is easier to be committed when you are passionate"

So, If you by any chance have dream go behind it.

HAIL dreams and dreamers.

P.S. This post is written is extreme anger; as I am trying to switch myself from a thinker to dreamer.

The 5C mantra for life

I believe that life is a graph with "x" axis being our time line and "y" axis our emotions to it. It flows in a really weird zigzag manner and takes us for a roller coaster ride. But whatever happens I tend to look up to this 5 C self created mantra (mantra=words that create magic or at least guide you through).

"Whatever situation life takes you, be Calm, Cool, Composed, Confident & Courageous"

This is a mantra which I believe in. This self tried mantra is something which I try bookmark for tough times or for that matter easy going or challenging times.

Fighting a losing battle

"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" - Winston Churchill

Everybody fight to win. If you know you (or your team) are going to win then it is very easy to get the energy; enthusiasm and motivation to fight.

But what if you knew you are going to lose, would you put the same efforts to fight till the end.

To know one would lose, is a situation where most would give up, quit, blame, show fingers or even join the winning side (like our politicians :D).

These tough situations help us to identify bravery vs. bravado, who fights for the cause and not just a victory, who has got courageous and who is just a show off. These are situation which separates those who just fight for a win from those who fight for the cause/the team he/she believes and supports for.

Karna one of the central characters of epic Mahabharata who fought a losing battle and died at the battlefield all just for the love of friendship is a apt example for us to look up.

I salute such true bravery.
